On the -300 the configuration of the bleed panel was the V or C however on the -800 it was always a checklist which I must say I prefered.

Not confirming the FMA(s) always got me adgitated, especially when someone would comment "whats it doing" or would be in HDG instead of LNAV etc.

Not checking Cabin ROC - unacceptable.

Using checklists/handy dandies to cover the windows because of the sunlight. You obviously couldn't see out the windows and it totally ruined the checklists.

Over controlling on the approach (PIO) and you ended up doing this little "jig". The pilot would probably be thinking it is the atmospheric conditions.

Slow rotation, not pulling correctly through the dead zone thus increasing likelihood of a tail strike, not pulling to correct pitch attitude or following FD's to above 20 degrees.

Basically not reading the books and poor airmanship irritated me, and the blank look when you are politely trying to point this out.
